Yes you can do that. You can try cutting you old sim card first and if you did it correctly it should work fine. If not then go buy one from fido for $10.

I know I hear stories like this all the time on the intarnets, but when it comes to people I actually know who try to do it, they never get the same deal. Makes you wonder

there are no new features worth losing your Jailbreak over. wait till a proven method is available.

I think getting a free replacement is totally up to the "genius" behind the counter. Maybe it's their mood or how tight their hipster jeans are that determines if yours will be free. Although I have heard of more women getting freebies, I wonde why?

On another note, I heard that the apple stores were packed today, 200+ people lined up. I walked into future shop at 9am this morning, waited 20 minutes and got a new 64gb iPhone 4S... Sweet!!!

yes you can, you will need to be mindful of baseband firmware, ios version and never ever update to a new ios version unless you are using a patch ios ipsw file. iclarified is your friend... iClarified - Unlock Wizard for iPhone

Hey. Thanks for the help. Does that mean if I wanted to update to another firmware in the future, I would lose the unlock ?

Is there a unlock for OS 5 ? Does the app from Cydia work ? Its called ultrasn0w or something. If I go out and do it, will it be permanent ? Sorry, I'm a apple noobie

Thanks again

Everytime you update, your phone is going into a fresh install and what apple does is revert your phone to your back'ed up state. Anytime you update you lose all jailbreak/unlock. There is an unlock for iOS5, but the jailbreak that goes with it is tethered. Permanent depends on when the next jailbreak/unlock comes out for the new firmware you have updated.

Hey $_$. Can you show me the unlock for iOS5 ? I dont mind tethered, its better than nothing. I've been to three cellphone shops today and they all can't unlock it. I need to downgrade OS in order to unlock. I tried to go into DFU mode in iTunes and restore but pops up an error. Any help ?

Thanks

go look at redmondpie or iphonedownloadblog. you have to change your hosts file in windows, or use tinyumbrella to fool itunes. can't say it's worked for everyone now. consensus is that downgrading doesn't work anymore. you also might have upgraded your baseband already.

Yeah, I've tried tinyumbrella. I'm pretty much SOL right ?
Guess I'll return this and buy a new Fido one.

Thanks everybody for the help.

tiny umbrella only works if you have previously saved your SHSH files.
